Introduction
Visitors will be welcomed by rows of cajuput trees extending in their own marvelous postures. They can’t help but take photos of the extremely vigorous green tunnel. Amidst the green forest is a small mansion with a sign, “Lian Honey Bee Farm.” Owner Lien Jen-Yu’s statue greets visitors with a smile while the hostess Hsu Shu-Fen has already prepared some honey water. Even if tourists are visiting the Farm for the first time, they will feel at home and as comfortable as visiting an old friend.
The Farm has kept bees for more than 20 years. Passed down for three generations, the Farm is named “Lian Honey” simply because the owner loves orchids. From a bee farm to a leisure farm, the Farm produces more and more exquisite products. The greatest features of the Farm include looking for new honey sources and developing new experience activities.
The long table in the house is the DIY area and is also set up to provide product sampling and selling. However, the most brilliant part of the Farm is the base for bees located among another row of cajuput trees. Visitors can watch the beehives, taste honey, and observe the ecology of bees and the secrets of the beehives.

Characteristics
Features of Agricultural Tourism
Logan honey, litchi honey, and flower honey are the three main honeys produced in Taiwan, so there are few products to choose from. In recent years, the Farm has mainly promoted cajuput tree honey, a tree commonly seen in Taoyuan. It is also referred to as “manuka honey in Taiwan.” These trees bloom in August, so cajuput tree honey is seasonal. Its production is little, and the honey is extremely special.
Cajuput trees and manuka trees come from the same plant family. The honey has a dark color and rich taste. The honey crystalizes easily, helps the body resist bacteria, and reduces inflammation. Cajuput tree honey has a hint of caramelized flavor. Some people say it tastes like honey sweet potatoes. The honey goes well with highly fragrant fruit or vegetable juices, such as apple, pineapple, guava, sprout, etc. Although its effects and taste are similar to manuka honey in New Zealand, the honey is more affordable.
“Beeswax cloth” is one of the most interesting experience activities. This DIY shares a traditional method for preserving food that originated in North America. Made of natural beeswax and cotton and linen cloth, beeswax cloth is similar to plastic food wrap but can be used over and over again. Beeswax cloth can protect food from air and dust, while helping food to “breathe naturally.” It is already widespread in Europe and the US but is relatively rare in Taiwan. Finding information from related coverage, Hsu Shu-Fen develops DIY activities with the beeswax produced by her farm for good-looking, practical, and trendy items.
